Forces investigation

On Friday afternoon we set up an investigation to see how far a car travels on different surfaces. The different surfaces were: paper, carpet, bubble wrap, plastic compound and the hall floor. 

We used an elastic band to deliver the push and used a Newton meter to measure a force of 10N. We made sure that the car got the same push each time.

We had to work together and measure carefully to check how far the car went, then record our results on a white board.
